Strange things were happening in the countryside of northeast Hebei. For three days water in the village wells rose and fell, rose and fell. Farmers noticed that the well walls had deep cracks in it. A smelly gas comes out of the cracks. In the farmyards, the chickens and even the pigs were so nervous to eat. Mice ran out of the fields looking for place to hide. Fish jumped out of their bowls and ponds. At about 3:00 am in July 28, 1976, some people saw bright lights in the sky. The sound of planes could be heard of outside the city of Tangshan even when no planes were in the sky. In the city, the water pipes in some buildings cracked and bursting. But the one million people of the city, that thought little of these events, were asleep as usually that night.

Answer

1.在days 和water之间加the

2.it→them

3.come→came

4.so→too

5.place→places

6.July前面的in→on

7.heard后面的of去掉

8.bursting→burst

9.that→who

10.usually→usual

【解析】

试题分析：本文介绍1976年唐山大地震前的征兆。

1.

2.it→them 句意：水井的壁上有裂痕。此处指代的是the well walls，是复数形式，故把it改为them。

3.come→came 指过去发生的事情用一般过去时态，故把come改为came。

4.so→too 句意：鸡甚至猪太紧张而不能吃东西。too...to...太……而不能，故把so改为too。

5.place→places 句意：田鼠跑出田地寻找躲藏的地方。此处用名词复数形式，故把place改为places。

6.July前面的in→on 在具体的某一天的上下午用介词on，故把in改为on。

7.heard后面的of去掉 句意：飞机声音在唐山市外面能被听到。hear of表示“听说过”，这里表示“听到”，故去掉of。

8.bursting→burst 此处是并列谓语，用一般过去时态，故把bursting改为burst。

9.that→who people作先行词，指人，后面非限制性定语从句缺主语，故把that改为who。

10.usually→usual 固定词组：as usual像平常一样，故把usually改为usual。

【知识拓展】

1.burst into tears/burst out doing 放声大哭；burst into laughter/burst out laughing放声大笑。

2.a place of interest名胜古迹

3.在某年、在某年某月用介词in；在某年某月某日、在某一天、在某一天的上午（下午、晚上）用介词on。
